I have over 28 years of experience aggressively representing thousands of clients. During that time I worked 12 years in the Public Defender's Office (Brevard & Seminole) where I participated in every criminal division and was part of the elite Capital Crimes Division handling complex cases including death penalty and other serious felonies. I am one of only a few local attorneys that is Qualified under the Florida Supreme Court Rules to try Death Penalty Cases.

I have been an owner/managing partner of the largest and most experienced family and criminal law firm in Brevard County for the past 16 years. I have extensive experience in family law cases including sophisticated divorce trials and appeals, parental time sharing and planning, complicated financial records in divorce, paternity, child support, and other family/divorce law cases.

Brevard County has been my home since 1975. I worked my way through Brevard Community College, graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Central Florida in 1983, and then from the Florida State College of Law in 1985. I was admitted to the Florida Bar in 1986. I have 2 beautiful daughters, a large, close, and loving family including a lovely wife, and a rescued dog from a local organization.
